one man band...



Just like the guy next to me, sharing the shade, said at Arts In The Park - Anything Goes!

He has been at every AITP I have been to. He looks like a homeless guy, carrying all his belongings but actually, it is his music that he carries with him. A set up, he has obviously built with complex plans, one can't help but snicker.

His tambourine and a few other percussion instruments play when he pulls the attached strings...or, just dances. Either work and he used them both. He sings, plays and dances. The man does it all. Does he do it well? Well, Bono - he isn't.

What happens when we try to do it all? It's not a pretty sight, either. None of us were made to do it all. We each have strengths and weaknesses and we would do ourselves a disservice if we thought, otherwise. Trying to pull the strings to make everything work at the same time, works as well in Real Life as it does for a one man band. Not so much. Dollars may fill part of his guitar case, but not for the right reasons. More for the the entertainment of it all...
